Tiffany to open SoHo store in 2012

New York City -- Tiffany & Co. said Thursday it plans to open a store in New York’s SoHo neighborhood in September 2012.



The 7,000-sq.-ft. store will occupy a space that combines two locations -- 97 Greene Street and 106 Wooster Street.



The 2012 opening corresponds to Tiffany’s 175th anniversary of its founding on Lower Broadway in the 1850s.



“Opening a store in the neighborhood where Charles Lewis Tiffany developed his growing enterprise is a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary,” said Beth O. Canavan, executive VP of Tiffany & Co.



Tiffany’s new SoHo store will be the jeweler’s third location in New York City.
